Sweet 16 Birthday Invitations
We've all watched the bacchanal sweet 16 parties on reality TV, but even if you can't have such an ostentatious indulgence, you can still have a unique fun celebration. Your 16th birthday definitely has you crossing a milestone, and so there are numerous ways in which you can make your celebration special and memorable. While deciding your party ideas, you need to finalize whether you are going to follow a theme (and what it will be), where you are going to have it, the food you would like to serve and who you want to invite. I'm sure you've already stocked plenty of sweet sixteen ideas, from magazines, TV and your friends parties, about what you would like to include. Make a list of the feasible ones, so you can find ways to include them as your plans progress.
Invitation Ideas for Your 16th Birthday
There are a number of factors your invitations will depends on:
- What is your theme?
- What are your theme colors?
- Are you making them, printing them out or ordering them?
- Are you posting them or handing them out?
America's Next Top Model Party: This theme that is growing in popularity is the perfect option for a girl who loves fashion and clothes. You can send a simple invitation card that says 'Tyra Mail' on the envelope, and on the actual invitation use words similar to the announcements made on the show. A personalized invitation would make the invitees picture printed out on one side with the words "You're In" below it. On the other side you can print the party details.
Glow In The Dark Party: One of my favorites is a glow in the dark party. To make these incredibly simple theme based invitation all you need is plain white invitations and glow in the dark paint. Now this part will require some skill and you should practice on some regular sheets of paper. Write out the invitation words and party details with the glow in the dark paint. Use a black marker and write "to be read in pitch darkness" on the envelope.
Sweet 16 Hawaiian Luau Party: This is another great theme and there are several different kinds of invitations you can make for this party. One idea is to make a cut out of the map of Hawaii and print your party details in the center. Another is to shape it into a flower or a hula skirt. Use vibrant colors for these invitations and if possible, attach a purple orchid to each card. Also include some Hawaiian words such as La hanau (birthday), Nani (beautiful), Hula (dance) and Hoaloha (friend) in the invitation. My personal favorite is to send each guest a lei as an invitation along with a very simple card, and have instructions that ask them to wear it to the party.
